Selwyn Libraries launch non-fiction and fiction titles on display in all branch libraries. This small collection will have new titles added to it weekly. Any title added to ‘hot picks’ will also have a copy placed in the fiction or non-fiction free lending collection. If the item is not on the shelf at your closest library you can now place a free hold to get the item delivered to your library. The ‘hot picks’ collection has replaced the rental collection which contained fiction items published in the last 2 years. Items in the rental collection will now be available to borrow for free from the library’s lending collection. Selwyn Library Manager Vicki Carlyon says the change will make popular titles more readily available at Selwyn libraries. “We will be ordering more copies of popular titles. We want to make sure the titles library members want to read are on the shelves.” People can hire hot picks for $4 per item for a loan period of seven days. To join the library, go online at www.selwynlibrary.co.nz to begin the membership process and borrow e-books immediately. For more information and to collect your library card please visit your local library and meet our friendly library staff. You will need to bring photo identification with you such as a driver’s license or passport along with proof of your address such as a bill when visiting the library to become a member.

The Board received reports from Council staff on the Local Approved Products Policy which is currently being consulted on plus details of proposed training courses in 2015. The Board confirmed that it will again hold four meetings around the District this year at Windwhistle, Greendale, Kirwee and Springfield. We look forward to seeing members of those local communities at those respective meetings. The Board also discussed a request from a local resident to review broadband coverage in the immediate area and resolved to request that Council staff undertake a review of internet services across Selwyn District, acknowledging impediments to growth caused by black spot communications areas. The Board also expressed continued concern at safety issues on the corner of Cardale Street and Telegraph Road in Darfield and requested that Council staff undertake a series of actions prior to 31 March. Finally, the Board approved funding requests for Darfield Pre-school and Nursery for sunshades and the Darfield ‘Christmas in the Park’ Committee for costs associated with their very successful event held in December. The Board’s next meeting will be held on 23 February 2015. Summer events draw crowds Around 1,400 people have attended a range of summer events in Selwyn, and more fun family events are also planned. Summer events kicked off with the popular Teddy Bear’s picnic in Rolleston last month. 400 people including lots of youngsters with their teddy bears turned up to enjoy games, a clown show, bouncy castle and toddler’s obstacle course. Hot weather attracted large crowds to pool parties at Darfield and Southbridge with 400 people enjoying the Southbridge party and 200 people joining the fun at the Darfield pool. Family picnics at Tai Tapu, Springston and Leeston were also popular. More summer events are still to come during February. Family picnics are planned at Lincoln and Dunsandel. Dunsandel’s event will be held on Wednesday 18 February from 5.30-7.30pm at Dunsandel Domain. West Melton is hosting a family fun day and Darfield will be screening Grease – the town’s first drive in movie, on Friday evening. Some events are being organised by local community groups or township committees as ‘Summer of Fun’ events which are funded by the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust and supported by CERA, and other events are being organised by Selwyn District Council.
